GSDM Grant regulations

1.MISCELLANEOUS INCOME
Your grant income is categorized as “miscellaneous income” and the withholding tax is not deducted from the grant.

Please collect and prepare for all the necessary receipts and expenditure record, including the ones of the entrance fee, tuition and other research related expenditures, for your tax return report.

Residential tax might be imposed to you according to your income amount including the grant.
　
3.NATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE
The grant recipient might have to be independent of your family (parents or spouse) and join the national health insurance on your own, especially in the case where you receive 200,000JPY per month. For further details, please check your current situation and ask at your parents or spouse’s work place.
